Genome Sequence of Microbacterium sp. Strain R1, Isolated from a Synechococcus Culture.

Synechococcus cultures in the laboratory are often associated with heterotrophic bacteria. Here, we report the genome sequence of the bacterium Microbacterium sp. strain R1, isolated from a culture of the estuarine Synechococcus strain CBW1107. Several secondary metabolites and transporter-related genes were identified in the genome of Microbacterium sp. strain R1.
